33:07 Was she going to maintain her pert and perky boobs? But she wasn't wearing a bra so congratulations on that So Angelina Jolie This is a very interesting to me. Could you look up the definition of mastectomy? me by the way my wife is you know who you notice is on Facebook a lot yeah I have barely in a huge rumble oh really with the women that are a Facebook fracas to Fraser Facebook fracas well let so I've spoken to a number of women and who came to me unsolicited because of course I am NOT properly equipped to really have this conversation
34:00 By the way, the definition of the word mastectomy is the surgical removal of one or both breasts partially or completely. This is not entirely what Angelina Jolie had done. And here at 100% of the women who I will say are NOAA general listeners who approached me in person, email or otherwise about this said, Yeah, she got a boob job and this is how she's playing it. Yeah now It's very you gotta be very careful with you know, the cancer the cancer card Cuz oh, you know, it's like just you can you get a geeky? Oh, okay. Oh the cancer, but my mom died of cancer one of my dear friends died in 1999 of breast cancer No, I breast can't cancers everywhere. I
34:58 And I have my own thoughts about where it comes from and what the cancer industry is doing about it. But this, besides the fact that there was no reason for this to be published at this moment in time, and oh by the way, she's also on the cover of Time Magazine which comes out Friday, which is wow, really? This op-ed in the New York Times, I mean it's almost, if I'm cynical, which gee, I am, And the White House is seeing all this crap coming down and then, hey, what are we gonna do? I mean... And Clooney goes, dude, I got nothing. I got nothing. Call Angelina. That's the only thing I can think of that this had to happen right now. If she truly wanted to bring some awareness, this is the worst possible time.
36:03 To do it, because you have no coverage in the news really in the right light and you're going to get snowed under. It's there briefly. I will say it worked perfectly because boy did the news cycle change for a couple hours there. Oh my god, Hensley and Jolie had their tits cut off, but she didn't. She has, they've been remade. And she has by her own admission and it's crazy, you know, the doctor who did this has blogged all over his his his web his blog about this. She had it done at the what is it? Here it is the patient's journey. I mean, the whole thing is is everywhere.
36:51 And there's a number of things that we really need to discuss when it comes to this. So one, every news story that I have seen is very quick to point out that this will be covered under the forthcoming Affordable Care Act provisions in 2014. So not only will the test be covered, which apparently in the United States at least is a very expensive test, but the procedure. And so as I'm following the news, I see a bill proposal which comes through the wire yesterday.
37:27 A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to raise awareness of and to educate breast cancer patients anticipating surgery, especially patients who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups, regarding the availability and coverage of breast reconstruction, prosthesis, and other options. So there's a push for this somewhere and I'm cynical about this. I'm really, really cynical. Well you don't think the push is for what's being talked about in my household? Please, because this is what... yeah, tell me. and elsewhere are these genetic testing. So you go and get your gene known, whatever they do. They pull out your genes and tell you all the possible bad things that can happen to you and that you're related to some bum in England. You're pre-everything. Basically you're pre-dead.
38:20 You're pretty dead and they have and everyone is getting these testing done and I think this is bringing more bringing it to light and Showing that the famous Angelina Jolie had it done and then she of course will show up in a movie in 2014 so next movie yep You know looking great beautiful breasts with no harm. No foul no wonder Brad Pitt who was so supportive I mean she had a couple kids I know I sound like an asshole to some women, but seriously. You sound like an asshole anyway. Some people, we both do, and I think a lot of people do. Hey, guess what? There you go. Someone's got to do it. I think it's all part of this scheme to get everybody gene sequenced. Yes. It's a huge movement to get gene sequences, how cool it is. My daughter's had it done. Really? My son's had it done. Really? Oh, they're insane. Really?
39:15 You haven't had it done. This is not nothing for you. No because people do say would you if there was a test would you said no and and you know and by the way that so she was tested for the BRCA1 BRCA2 gene I'm like, oh, let me look this up. Do you know what BRCA stands for? What? breast cancer Oh, I know it's I mean, but you expect to be like bio resistant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not BRCA breast cancer. So I mean, how does how does exactly how super creative? So, you know, they'll be like,
39:51 ANCR, you know, like anal cancer. Oh gee, now you've got anal cancer. Well, you might as well remove your butt. You might as well remove your butt. You have a new butt. But seriously, we have talked about that. We've noticed this coming. You're pre-cancerous, you're pre-diabetic. You know, now, that's funny. One of our doctors sent this to me. He said, you know, now they want to lower the legal alcohol limit to 0.5. Yeah. So zero. So why don't you just hand, hand up tickets for being pre drunk? Everybody's pre drunk. I mean, it's like you, you're, you are as a person, you're pre dead. You could walk out tomorrow. No, it's like, oh, well let's just not fly anymore because you could die.
40:38 And I mean I get hit by a bus and I fall down the stairs and this 80 a lot of opportunities and this 87% thing bugs me a lot. It's like because this genetic test is so good that they could say she had an 87 not 86 not 88 and an 87% chance of having breast cancer seems far-fetched right And these genetic tests, yeah, I've seen a lot of push on this. So I'm totally... So what is the argument Mimi is having that's interesting on Facebook? Well, she is upset by all these women who come out. She's so brave. She's a hero. And all the stuff that's on... All the Facebook stuff is just praising her to no end. And Mimi's argument is if she had an 87% chance of getting breast cancer, she could have a 13% chance of not getting. Why would you do this?
41:32 When all you have to do is test more and you just be a little more conscientious and you can probably, you know, why what's your don't have cancer? Why are you going to this extreme? She thought that was just a bad idea. I don't know that Mimi knows that it was really a boob job. Oh, it's a boob job. Yeah. If you look at so she did this at the Pink Lotus Breast Center. The Pink Lotus Breast Center is a is the place and the whole website is pink, which is a little disturbing. So she, her entire road... Kind of sexist. Her entire road, or entire journey is well documented here. Yeah, I know, it's publicity aspect to it. Another thing is annoying. But no, apparently all on Facebook, all the women are all, oh she's a brave, brave woman. You know, this is kind of like she's in World War II or something, taking out a Nazi, you know...
42:26 Tank or something, I mean, jeez. With a rubber knife and a compass. And a single grenade. But she, so she got to keep her nipples. Yeah, they did a special procedure that they apparently oversaturated her nipples with a bunch of blood or something and then, so the nipples were intact and still sensitive. Woot! No wonder Brad is so happy. and supportive. Hey, they're not of the same size, how about that? We're laughing about this, but I saw it blew me away. And you know, cause you, when you hear mastectomy. Yeah. You just think she's going to be flat chested and have, you know, just this horrible scars and the rest of it. And I know women who have had mastectomies in Austin here, you know, and, you know, and I'm sure that they would love nothing more than to have the Angelina version.
43:21 and get some beautiful boobs back, I'm sure they would love nothing more. It's totally too late or whatever. It's just like, this is a little... Anyway, so it appears that the genetic testing and the procedures will all be a part of the Affordable Care Act. And specifically, the people who can't afford the care will receive regulation that helps remind them that they can do this testing. What's it going to be? Do you get the procedure approved when you're 50%, 51% or maybe less? I mean, is it 30%? Will your insurance company say, oh yeah, chop them off, get some new ones?
44:04 I'm sure that there's a lot of women who will see the opportunity. Imagine if she didn't have cancer, but she got new boobs. Yeah, well, yeah, it's a sensitive subject. So I wouldn't get into the debate about it. No, I don't want to get too far into the debate. Well, I know, but you know, again, I do have a little clip here because I was I was reminding myself that one of the things about our podcast, we will talk about some of these issues that are actually in the public eye. They're important. They're changing the way people think. So I was having lunch with a friend and he says he's getting tired of some of the podcasts that are getting worse and worse. You got friends? Not ours. He loves ours. Wait, stop. You got friends? Yeah, I do. I have a friend. Oh.
